Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD dips slightly, remains bullish above $27.00

Silver retreats from a high of $27.43 while interacting with key Fibonacci retracement levels.
XAG/USD consolidates within the $27.05 to $27.70 Fibonacci range.
A break above $27.70 could open the path to higher resistances at $28.00 and possibly extend towards the $29.00 mark and the annual high at $29.76.
Should it fall below $27.05, Silver might target further supports at $26.41 and the crucial $25.50 level.

Silver's price edged down late during Monday’s North American session. It lost some 0.10% after reaching a daily high of $27.43 hit during the North American session. At the time of writing, XAG/USD trades at $27.12.

XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook

The XAG/USD daily chart suggests the grey metal is consolidating between 50% and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement, within the $27.05-$27.70 area of the Fib drawn from the swing low at $24.34 to the latest high at $29.76.

For a bullish continuation, traders need to reclaim the top of the abovementioned range at $27.70 so they can threaten to breach the $28.00 milestone. Once cleared, the next resistance would be the 23.6% Fib retracement at $28.48, followed by the $29.00 mark. The next supply area would be the year-to-date (YTD) high at $29.76.

On the flip side, bears could find some relief if XAG/USD slides below the 50% Fib retracement at $27.05, followed by the 61.8% retracement at $26.41. A subsequent dip is seen below that level, exposing the confluence of the 50-day moving average (DMA) and the 78.6% Fib retracement at $25.50.

AUD/USD meets support near 0.7150

AUD/USD comes under renewed and quite strong selling pressure ahead of the Asia opening bell on Friday, drifting back toward multi-day troughs near 0.7150, where it seems to have met some decent contention for now. The Aussie’s decline follows the inflation-reignited uptick in the Greenback in response to robust US factory-gate prices in August.

USD/JPY consolidates around 153.50 as bears turn cautious ahead of US inflation

USD/JPY stabilizes above 153.50 during the Asian session on Thursday, but remains near a seven-month low set earlier this week as hawkish BoJ repricing continues to underpin the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, rising September Fed rate-hike bets and escalating US-Iran tensions help ease US Dollar selling pressure, offering some support to the currency pair ahead of US inflation figures.

Gold remains weak, retargets $4,350

Gold keeps the choppy price action on Thursday, now slipping back toward the $4,350 region per troy ounce amid the robust bounce in the US Dollar as well as rising US Treasury yields across the curve, particularly following US Producer Prices and ahead of Friday’s more relevant US CPI data.

Bitcoin holds steady on positive ETF flows despite short-term holders cashing in

Bitcoin's exchange-traded funds (ETF) demand regime has notably shifted, with 30-day net inflows reaching $21.9 billion, according to a Thursday post by CryptoQuant. The data suggests that the average Bitcoin held through spot ETFs is now in profit, with the realized price of the ETF cohort standing at roughly $72,000 to $73,000.

ECB recap: A hawkish hike despite downside growth risks

The European Central Bank (ECB) increased the Deposit Facility Rate to 2.50%, the Refinancing Rate to 2.65% and the Marginal Lending Facility to 2.90%, effective from September 16. The decision was accompanied by a clear warning that the outlook remains highly uncertain, with risks tilted to the upside for inflation and to the downside for growth.

Venezuela’s 65-billion-barrel Oil deal could reshape America’s inflation fight

The United States (US) has secured unprecedented access to part of Venezuela’s vast Oil reserves. The timing is particularly significant as the war with Iran is disrupting Middle Eastern supplies, keeping energy prices elevated and reviving concerns about inflation.
